Is there a standard way to organize methods within a class? [duplicate]

StyleCop enforces some things here:

Within a class, struct, or interface, elements must be positioned in the following order:

  • Fields
  • Constructors
  • Finalizers (Destructors)
  • Delegates
  • Events
  • Enums
  • Interfaces
  • Properties
  • Indexers
  • Methods
  • Structs
  • Classes

Furthermore, elements are ordered by access:

  • public
  • internal
  • protected internal
  • protected
  • private

As well as a few other rules:

  • Contants have to appear before fields
  • static elements have to appear before instance elements.

This might be a good baseline to start. As for additional ordering rules, I usually group related methods together.
